If you’ve read any of my recent posts you’ll know I’ve become quite taken by botanical dyeing. To say I find the whole process fascinating would be a gross under statement – to me it’s like magic. It doesn’t matter what what plant I use, I get a result…….and the result is always beautiful…..usually breathtakingly so.
This is a gift for a new baby girl. The wraps are all muslin and all dyed with natural dye.
Usually I’m painstaking with my notes and records so I know how I produced a particular shade. But I’m sorry to say, somehow this lot slipped through the cracks. If I dug deep enough I know I could work it out so if you want to know my exact recipe, I’d be happy to let you know. But otherwise, what I can say for certain is that for two of the wraps I have used avocado stones (one with iron added) and for the one second from the right, I used the leaves from a maple tree.
What I can also say for certain is that the results are lovely. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing past time.
I hope the wraps help the little one sleep………they would, me. In fact, I am going to make myself a nightie out of linen that has been botanically dyed!
Goodnight XXX
